The Minute you put them on a pedestal, you've given your power away...

I’ve had this conversation a couple of times lately… people feeling disempowered when seeking out someone in their ‘zone of genius’, or practitioners being judged harshly because they don’t live up to the pedestal people have put them on.

It doesn’t matter what occupation/profession you seek expert help from, if that person considers themselves above you, or you allow yourself to put them on a pedestal as the ‘expert’, you’ve given your power away and are no longer in control of your own journey. Everyone has their own zone of genius, a top heart specialist still has to take his car to a mechanic for a service because he likely doesn't know a thing abut cars... That's what makes us all unique, not greater or lesser than...

Healing is a journey, but it’s also a place you arrive at metaphorically, like stopovers on the way to your end destination. Maybe not the finish line, but at some point along the way, you will have done enough of the work yourself to get to a place where you now have tools of your own to navigate most triggers, challenges or bumps in the road.

You can reflect on where you started, maybe with zero awareness and zero tools in your toolkit… to how far you’ve come, maybe you’re now very connected to yourself, maybe you recognise triggers for what they are, maybe you have a few tools/tricks under your belt to be able to navigate some of the day to day challenges without getting so overwhelmed, or maybe you've only just opened pandora's box; in which case, let me assure you it gets easier!!

There might come a time when you never need outside help for Healing again, or maybe there will still be times when you need a little outside help for whatever reason; you've tried all your tools and not fully getting through, or you've come up against a new situation and aren't sure how to handle it, or you can feel that you're really unable to let this one go. Whatever the situation, the choice is yours to make in terms of how your healing looks, it is not bound to when someone tells you that you'll need a follow up, nor is it outside of your capabilities to do it on your own.

I sometimes get asked how I stay so grounded all the time. Let me tell you I don't, you get the best version of me in clinic and I still have days in my personal life where I feel like I'm drowning. Years and years of 'doing the work', has led me to a place where those days are fewer and further between, and I have so many tools now to navigate most of them. I still occasionally seek outside help. I recognise when I need it and am not ashamed to ask, because my own healing journey has taught me that that's ok (it also feels really bloody good to receive every now and then when you're normally the one

giving). I can't be all things to all people, and I wouldn't want to have that expected of me either.

I want to see you thrive in your zone of genius and I'll help you to get there using my zone of genius. ✨✨✨
